11 Months!

Luke says..."I'm 11 months old!!"

Yes, that's right...today, Luke is officially one month away from the exciting one year birthday celebration. I ordered his invites for the big day this morning. I can't believe how amazing this year has been...full of blessings and great memories!

Here's a quick update of Luke's newest accomplishments...(I hear him playing in his crib after finishing his nap...so this is going to be quick)!! Speaking of playing in his crib after napping - he has a habit of taking a "stinky" after his naps - he goes to the very corner of his crib, sits perfectly still, and does his #2 business...it's quite funny to watch on the monitor.

Luke is now...

-taking 6 steps at a time

-waving "bye, bye" and "hi there" on command consistently

-copying any kind of sounds we make - "vroom, vroom" like a car, "woof, woof" like a dog, fake sneezes, fake coughs, and these adorable vibrating sounds with his fingers and lips

-he loves to throw things down and watch us pick them up

-he loves to knock things down - like a tower of rings or blocks - he makes a serious looking tough face when doing this

-he will give you a kiss - a wide open mouthed one (like a fish)

-it is so cute to watch him eat his puffs with his fingers and then drink his juice - he looks like such a big boy

-he is starting to climb things - he is told no frequently for trying to climb the entertainment center - and, he will climb into his little red car all by himself when he's ready to ride - so cute!

-he loves yogurt - we let him eat a yogurt as a snack each day

-he continues to love music - he dances (a.k.a-does knee bends) all the time

-he continues to love to read - no matter how wound up he is, he will sit on my lap and read for 30 minutes at a time

So...that's it for the 11 month old adventures...see you next week...here are some pictures

This was at the Thomasville parade yesterday - he had a blast! I couldn't believe he sat there with me, my mom, and Lexi for an hour and a half.

Lexi, my sister/niece, turned 8 on November 13th...we celebrated at the Mexican restaurant..check out the pics and the great hat!

The next pics were taken at an old playground close to my house...he loves to climb and slide, play with the grass and leaves...and play peek a boo...

Here's Luke in his high chair eating puffs

Here he is playing with a puzzle...

And getting into the frig....

The last two pictures were taken by my friend Ashley when she visited a few weeks ago...
